ANNENBERG COMMUNITY BEACH HOUSE Located at 415 Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, the Beach House sits on a five-acre parcel of Santa Monica State Beach. This property was originally developed by William Randolph Hearst for actress Marion Davies in the 1920s. It has a vibrant and uniquely Californian history including life as the estate of a Hollywood movie star, the Oceanhouse Hotel, the private Sand and Sea Club, and a public facility known simply as 415 PCH. On April 25, 2009, the site opened to the public as the Annenberg Community Beach House. The Beach House combines elements of the historic Marion Davies Estate with new amenities to create a truly unique community destination. In the summer and other peak use periods, the Beach House promotes "A Great Day at the Beach" by providing traditional beach amenities and services such as showers, changing rooms, beach equipment rentals, access to the historic swimming pool, children's play areas and splash pad, sand areas for beach volleyball and beach soccer, and take out and café style food service from the beach café. The winter months focus more on contemplative pursuits such as indoor retreats, meetings, social functions and cultural programs, art gallery exhibits, and continued access to the sand, play areas, gardens, and beach café. The site also provides tours of the famous Marion Davies Guest House. In accordance with the City's 1998 Re-Use Plan, the goal of the Beach House is to provide an exciting public community space that: Creates a community-oriented destination Provides public recreational activities Increases public access to the beach Creates a range of uses Encourages diverse users Provides for year-round use Links to the regional open space network Preserves the history of the site Encourages a "light touch" on the site Private events at the Beach House may include, but are not limited to: weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, proms, corporate meetings, receptions, holiday parties, pool parties, birthday parties, baby showers, banquet/award presentations, and fundraisers.
